I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Barry M (London, England) in Jan 2024
Interview
I recently went through the interview process for a role and had two in-person interviews, both of which required a significant time commitment. Following this, I had to chase for updates over the course of about a month, with very limited communication from the company.
Eventually, I received an automated rejection email, which not only came after a long delay but also referenced a different role than the one I had applied for. This gave the impression of a lack of attention to detail and respect for candidates’ time and effort.
While the interview experience itself was positive, the follow-up process and communication fell short of expectations. I would encourage the company to improve their candidate communication and ensure more accurate and timely updates moving forward.
I applied online. I interviewed at Barry M in Dec 2024
Interview
I applied through LinkedIn, got an email a week later and booked an initial phone call for the next day.
The call only lasted 1 minute. The first question I was asked was my previous salary and expectations. As soon as I said the numbers I was interrupted and told "Let me stop you there, as the salary for this role is not that high"
First of all, if the first question you get during the interview is about your salary expectations and your previous salary, this tells you enough about the company culture and you can just tell how they run it.
The role was for a Senior Graphic Designer including managing 2 designers and their salary for this job is £39k! £39k! I wonder how much their Junior Designer is making - minimum wage?
Companies need to start paying their "talents" and stop taking advantage of people. Thank god, I found out soon than later.

Interview
Forgot they had booked the interview in and didn't turn up to the teams meeting. Then ignored my queries to reschedule. Really disappointed they wasted a job seeker's time. I had prepared for the interview and was really looking forward for the opportunity.
